There's a very old joke from way back in the days of the Model T Ford. I'm sure you've heard it before. Man takes his car to the mechanic. Describes his trouble. Mechanic looks under the hood, takes a hammer, and give the engine a whack. Starts the car, and it purrs like a kitten.
"That'll be fifty cents," he says.
"What! Fifty cents? All you did was give it one blow with your hammer. That seems an awful lot of money for such a simple thing!"
"Oh, the hammerin' was free," answers the mechanic. "It was knowin' where to hit it what cost the fifty cents."
Anyway...it's easy to write. The hard part is knowing what to say.
I'm a-workin' on it!

Marty Forscher used to do that, except that he took delight in distracting the customer with some sleight of hand and handing back a working un-jammed camera to the customer at no charge.

The Fuji Medium format cameras are my new dream cameras. But I am perfectly happy with my 50mp Canon 5Dsr. I am surprised that the new Sony Alpha 1 can do 30 fps at 50mp! Mine can do only 4.5fps. But also mine can’t do eye autofocus. Or 8k video, or even 4k video. I think all these advancements are wonderful. But I can’t afford them yet. I have been without eye AF all my life, so I can wait a few more years, while my eyes are still good enough.

I thought of writing "No discussion of the 27mm weather sealed lens?" I thought that would have almost been automatic for you given your attachment to the 40mm full frame field of view, also after recently buying my first Fuji camera, an X-Pro3, I've been dithering between the 23mm and 35mm Fujicrons and that 27mm is looking rather interesting to me.
I hope you're a'workin' on it :-)

Forget the 50MP version, you need to review this camera!
